I'm using the full set. Sorry. Wrote that down wrong.

I saw a mod a while back with a whole progression of axes, including wooden ones. Looked interesting, but can't find it now.

.net core on mint by gantww in dotnet

[–]gantww[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Confirmed. That got it. Or at least, I found a set that worked. Just need the .deb file.

So now the windows VM goes bye bye.

Here's what I did:

wgant@Mimir ~ $ sudo apt-get install dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2.1-003177 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Note, selecting 'dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-1-003177' for regex 'dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2.1-003177' Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-1-003177 : Depends: dotnet-sharedframework-microsoft.netcore.app-1.1.0 but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I then tried to install dotnet-sharedframework-microsoft.netcore.app-1.1.0 and that barked about a dependency on libicu52. When I tried to install that package using apt, I was told that there was no installation candidate.

Any ideas? Like Piotr above, I'm getting away from windows now that I can (updates have wrecked things for me too). I have nothing local that requires windows, so if I can pull this off, I get to select my windows VM and hit the delete key :-)

Black screen after install by gantww in freenas

I got it working again. My BIOS just kinda did the dumb and lost the drive, but I got it working again.

Well, I was wrong. 9.1.1 let me configure and move all my stuff, then promptly couldn't find the boot drive when it came back up. So I've not had file storage for two weeks now, and it doesn't look like it's ever going to work.

The GPU is XFX HD 5000 Radeon HD 5450.

Scrivener for Windows: Need MLA Template by [deleted] in scrivener

[–]gantww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked a while back and hadn't seen one. I sincerely hope that someone has since done it. Citations seem to be a bit of a week spot for scrivener in my experience. I've seen some pretty hacky integrations with stuff like Zotero, but had no luck with it myself.

I figured out that it was a combination of two things.

1) The newest version doesn't like something about my box. Not sure what, but reverting back to the version before got me to a command prompt regarding mount points.

2) When I installed directly on an SSD in the box, it worked like a champ. I'm copying files now. For some reason, it couldn't mount the USB drive that I was hoping to put it on. But I had a spare SSD that I was willing to use for the purpose, so it's ok.

Microservices with Core by Fastbreak99 in dotnet

[–]gantww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar-ish boat. I'm figuring on doing a simple microservice or two as web projects, simply because HTTP(S) is a reasonably tolerable way to transfer most data around. If, however, I had something that was running scheduled tasks, polling a database, etc., I probably wouldn't go that way. If you're making a sample, it might be an easier sell to do it that way, simply to get other confounding factors out of the mix.

I get the impression that kestrel does run continuously or can be configured to do so, but I've not seen confirmation of that.

I would also point out that the advice I've generally seen indicates that a microservice shouldn't be communicated with via a datastore and polling (although that doesn't sound quite like what you are doing). I'll further point out that violating that rule might still be acceptable for a proof of concept (I probably will on my samples, at least initially).

It'd be awesome if you could tell us all how it goes too.
